Find appropriate f(x) first

  • 2 1/2=5/2
  • 3 1/3=10/3

Now

  • y=-10/3x+5/2

So

InterchAnge x and y

  • x=-10/3y+5/2

Find y which is the inverse

  • x-5/2=-10/3y
  • y=-3/10x+5/2×3/10
  • y=-3/10x+3/4

x intercept

  • 10/3x+3/4=0
  • x=-3/4×3/10
  • x=-9/40

Answer:

\textsf{Inverse function}: \quad  f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{3}{10}x

x\textsf{-intercept}:\quad\left(\dfrac{5}{2},0\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=2\frac{1}{2}-3\frac{1}{3}x

Rewrite the function so it is a <u>rational function</u>

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

\implies f(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}-\dfrac{10x}{3}

Make the denominators the same:

\implies f(x)=\dfrac{3 \cdot 5}{3\cdot 2}-\dfrac{2 \cdot 10x}{2 \cdot 3}

\implies f(x)=\dfrac{15}{6}-\dfrac{20x}{6}

Combine:

\implies f(x)=\dfrac{15-20x}{6}

The inverse of a function is its <u>reflection in the line y = x</u>

To <u>find the inverse</u>, make x the subject

Replace f(x) with y:

\implies y=\dfrac{15-20x}{6}

\implies 6y=15-20x

\implies 6y-15=-20x

\implies x=\dfrac{-6y+15}{20}

\implies x=\dfrac{15-6y}{20}

Replace x with f^{-1}(x) and y with x:

\implies f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{15-6x}{20}

If necessary, convert back into the same format as the original function:

\implies f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{15}{20}-\dfrac{6x}{20}

\implies f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{3}{10}x

The x-intercept of the inverse function is the point at which it crosses the x-axis, so when f^{-1}(x)=0

\implies \dfrac{15-6x}{20}=0

\implies 15-6x=0

\implies 6x=15

\implies x=\dfrac{15}{6}=\dfrac{5}{2}

Therefore, the x-intercept is:

\left(\dfrac{5}{2},0\right)
